What new projects are you starting this spring? Tell us about them. Don't care what field they're in, so long as they are actual projects as opposed to "cleaning my room" or "finding ...
And then everyone can come back at the end of May and stare at their wild optimism in horror, okay?

Seriously. What are your plans for spring? Setting up a website? Coding some weird system? Making a book? Designing clothes? A photo shoot? Making art for a gallery showing? BUILDING A DEATH RAY?

Let's hear it.

I am writing a novel-shaped thing about nanotechnology. Good internets would help as this bugger is research intensive, but New Zealand doesn't so much have broadband as just kind of 'band'. I hope ...
Am also embarking on research for a play, to be written this summer with a friend of mine in London, for next year's Edinburgh Festival (with a bit of luck). It's about the River Styx, that's all I can say for now.

Musically, am working on beats and samples for a free to download solo Texture EP, which I hope to have finished by July or so, and lyrics for the next Double Helix EP, which is in production back in sunny Scotland.

And as always, I'm editing and compiling stories for Weaponizer, and ruminating on whether now or later would be a good time to do a POD or small press collection of the site's best stuff...

So I'm a busy bunny, and prob won't get half of this stuff finished in the projected timescales! I've shown you mine, please show me yours.]]>

I have a novel-shaped thing in the pipe as well, currently called Kaleidescope for the purposes of naming files. It's about the death of childhood imagination. I've no delusions that I'll finish it anytime soon, but for May I'll hope to at least have nailed down all the things I want to happen, and know who all the characters are and what they're about.

I am getting in shape for the STP, a 204 mile, two-day bicycle ride from Seattle, WA to Portland, OR in July.

heading to Montreal next week to discuss a project with another deaf artist. i proposed we combine my photo & her painting skills on a new concept for a tarot project, which will probably take a year to complete.

got an international deaf sports competition (hockey & curling) in winnipeg for april, which we have to develop a live streaming broadcast via the 'net, which we've never done before. it's a learning experience, to say the least.

my film director will be staying with me for a while after i get back from montreal so we can finish the editing of our first feature-length film, which is taking a *LOT* longer than we expected. our projected date for screening is end of apriil/start of may!

have a lot more video/film gear to build from scratch. next up's a focus puller & some china-ball lanterns.

this october's got our second feature-length film in the works, this time a kinky corporate drama. done entirely in ASL, of course!]]>

First, consisting out of six 52-page long issues, two pages reserved for commentary or references or somesuch. This one's nicely outlined and I'm in the middle of scripting the fourth issue.

Second, my weirdo mutation of 24hour comic book, except the idea is to work for several days and spend up to ten hours to draw ten pages a day. Preferably for an entire month. Decided to break another rule and script it beforehand. Got the plot ready at this point. Obviously this one's b&w.

Third, being the second volume of my webcomic. At this point all I got is roughly 1/3rd of the plot.

Around May I'm hoping to be done writing all three and have drawn either first issue of the first or the entirety of the second.(and I'll probably make them available using POD and as webcomics).]]>

Okay, seriously.I need to find an artist for a nearly finished project, The Dumpster. I need to start writing a web series that popped in my head the other day. I need to either find an artist for Virtuoso or just accept my mediocre art skills and do it my self. Need to nail down an artist for Antiquity, because it looks to be in permanent hiatus.

Oh, and recording a few spoken work projects with my talented friends.

Most importantly, I need to manage my manic depression. Like, at all. All of the above would have been long done were it not for my bipolar episodes.]]>

Project Uno: To develop a paint scheme for a Fat Bob Harley Davidson to be raffled off to fund a year's salary of a visiting industry professor (v.i.p.) in the department of Building Science (only 2 weeks left on this one).

Project Dos: To develop a character and make a small toy. I chose a robot as the main focus. This character will be replicated 4 times to show 4 different emotions such as happy, angry, sad, excited. No more than a few inches tall and hopefully a packaging system for the characters.

Project Tres: I need to do major work on my portfolio, resume, and other job finding elements.

Project Cuatro: Job Search, Job Search, Job Search.

Project Cinco: This is my main focus and main project of my last studio. I am developing a nightstand with attention to cord management. I am focusing on the simple stylings of the Arts & Crafts movement with hopes of some beautiful joinery. With the cord management, I hope to create a system that can be easily replicated to be used in other furniture such as desks and entertainment systems.]]>

Doing final inking on a nine-page comicbook surrealist story.

Writing and casting for a 45 min 'end of the world' you-tube released movie. Casting as making a list of: 'who do i know is good and available and will work for the fame and no money?'

A friend of mine who's an actual professional regularly-working comics artist wants me to write scripts for him.

I wrote a short fantasy piece which we want to submit to Heavy Metal - yes we know it's a long shot.

Next I'm writing a one-shot comic to introduce a concept which we then hope to expand into a miniseries.

I'm also working on a miniseries with another artist which has been progressing with glacial slowness. We're getting the whole thing finished before releasing it - currently the first issue is complete; the second issue is fully penciled and lettered and being inked; I'm halfway through the script for for three and hope to have the whole thing finished in the next month or so.

A third artist has also asked me to write for him - this guy is a professional artist from outside the comics field who hasn't really done much professional comics work but has appeared in numerous small-press and semi-pro venues. he's very good and a real dynamo. I don't know if i'll have anything for him by May but i'm sure hoping I will.

After years of trying to break into comics i'm now in an extremely fortunate position - and I'm determined not to fuck it up.

Outside of comics, I'm hoping to get the accounts of the non-profit where I volunteer up to date and audits - they're currently three years behind.

At the day job, I'm looking at relocating a shop to new premises and possibly buying another store.]]>

the magazine of Science Fiction & Fantasy with a twist

My wife and I started Crossed Genres last year, technically (in October), and we've released 3 issues (monthly) with the fourth coming out on March 1. But this year we're looking to build it beyond a hobby. Also we'd like to not be losing money on it.

We recently switched to being a paid market (which didn't really help with the whole "not losing money" thing), and we''re expanding into e-books, subscriptions, offering on Amazon, etc. Working with a shoestring budget is holding us back a bit but that's part of the project, right? *beats head against wall*]]>

We're a bi-monthly mag. Every issue features interviews or profiles of mostly local artists, studios and collectors (though we do have a fair bit of international and regional coverage), as well as convention reports and, of course, tons of pictures of gorgeous tats.

The issue itself will go on sale in March and is available at some tattoo studios here, as well as through subscription here (.doc).]]>

London Rollergirls, which will probably be at April's championship bout between feminists from the future, the Suffra Jets, versus relentless steampunks, the Steam Rollers. Then in July there's the inaugural European roller derby tournament happening in London, which is going to be called Roll Britannia. I'm pretty much definitely going to be involved in that - can't wait!

I've already been a lineup manager for the Steam Rollers for their crunch decider match at Clockwork Carnage, which was amazing fun even though I felt like I'd aged a decade in an hour thanks to stress.

But I need something to do with my hands, and come March I won't have a garden. But I will have a workshop. So I've got a sketchbook full of clothing patterns. Over Spring I'd like to get enough money to afford fabric and a sewing machine - now that I can't borrow the use of one - and start putting together those clothes. My mates insist that if I do that I'll end up with a design house by accident.

@LindsayDuff, yeah, having done a spot of refereeing for the Terminal City Roller Girls, I'm pretty certain I know what you're going through. Being the youngest bloke in the ref team, the girls ignored my name and simply called me Jail Bait. I reckon that's the best synopsis of my Roller Derby experience.

THE LOST GRIND OPERA.

Because I'm not content enough being an artist or a photographer or a director or (sometimes) a writer, I've now thrown my hat in the ring as a producer.

Located at the world famous El Cid Theater in Los Angeles, The Lost Grind Opera is a bi-monthly theatrical showcase that brings you the very best in dark cabaret. With its unique blend of glamorous modern burlesque, original live music and deviantly hilarious vaudeville, The Lost Grind Opera looks to set the new standard in L.A.'s underground scene.

I've been working on putting this show together since October and we're finally launching our opening night on March 13th. The idea for it basically sprung from the notion of "if you can't find anything to entertain you, create it yourself". I finally got off my ass and started gathering my creative friends to see if we could put together a fun, sexy cabaret type show together.

My main goal is to qualify for my PhD track, but that strikes me as a boring goal that mostly involves studying and convincing my peers that, yes, I did in fact write five pages of text in a single ...
Of greater interest to me is to generate preliminary data for my new project that has arisen from my qualification escapades. It involves delicious mouse bone marrow and cancer virus.

Aside from work, I intend to finish this specfic novel I've been writing and have been too busy doing science to work on in the last two weeks. Editing will be the summer's goal.]]>

Also, I'm working on a CMS script in php, mysql and Ajax for my local comics group, The Bellingham School of Comics, to use for hosting their works. It looks like I'll be finished with the back end and will start on the page layouts this Spring.

And, if the 'Ham is receptive enough, I should be starting my One Year of Shows. My goal being to have artwork hanging somewhere in my home town for 365 days straight.

Finally, I want to start remastering my old comics and begin layout for The F-ing Big Tome.

But truth be told, I'd be happy if I can just keep Harmless Free Radicals and Par for the Core going.]]>

I am still getting my food/travel/tour blog Vagabond Appteite off the ground. I have been seeing some pretty decent traffic so far and hopefully when I am on the road again it will pick up with more daily updates. Also I'm always looking for suggestions of places to review so feel free to shoot me a line with your favorite dive bar or restaurant.

Speaking of being on the road my Bryce Midas incarnation is hitting the road in 2 weeks (agh!) and touring the East coast and part of the midwest. Then I'm meeting up with Battlefields for the end of their tour in April and then back to my hometown to get some work done on my next record which still has no name. Also on the tour I will probably be putting out an EP of demo stuff I have done in Florida and will have that online for free download in the coming week or two.

I also have a couple of other projects on which I am working, although they remain in the planning stages at present so I am not going to talk about them so as not to jinx anything. I will say this about them. The first one involves quantum physics, Sufism, a man in a tuxedo who is not wearing pants and a lot of cursing and boozing. The second one involves Civil War-era alien conspiracies, the temples of Angkor Wat and the discovery of Atlantis off the coast of Japan.

Also if the world ends this year I am going to buy a .308 Winchester and a lot of bullets, hole up in some remote part of the US and learn to garden, can, install/repair solar/wind generators and pick off a G-Man from my rooftop lookout.]]>

John Scalzi mentioned that while he uses Twitter, he doesn't directly follow a lot people using Twitter itself. He subscribes to the RSS feeds tied to their Twitter accounts. I like this idea much more than using their web page or using a client like Twhirl. I put together a Yahoo Pipe to mash together a bunch of Twitter RSS feeds so I can subscribe to a single feed. I quite like it, but it's not perfect and I'm determined to wade through Pipes' obtuse documentation until I get it right. Once I've fixed it up, I will probably post some more details somewhere here.

I've also started posting here today. It's just going to be bits and pieces of things I've felt the need to look up or research further while reading. I don't guarantee that it will be updated regularly nor do I guarantee that I will stick to it, but I shall try.

2.) We use LOINC and its accompanying tool RELMA a quite a bit at work to facilitate the sharing of laboratory results between local hospitals. However, the RELMA software is clunky and we only use about 70% or less of its features. The thing regularly takes up 200 or more MB of memory to do its thing and it uses a pair of Access databases to store its data which is, quite frankly, offensive to me. I'm thinking of building a web-based version that is snappier and consists only of the features that we regularly use.

One catch is that I'd need to motivate myself sufficiently to work on it outside of work hours as The Company owns anything I create while on their time and I'd like to release anything I develop into the wild.

The other catch is that the license that LOINC is released under doesn't allow me to re-use all of their database tables without express permission. I'm not sure I can get this permission and I'm not sure how much I could accomplish without it.

Yet another catch is that I've not programmed much beyond SQL and Python scripts in the past five years.

We'll see I suppose.]]>

There is really a lot of fascinating stuff going on around Whitechapel.
I have begun writing and doodling a series of mostly autobiographical comic stories under the titled "Scrambled ...

I have begun writing and doodling a series of mostly autobiographical comic stories under the titled "Scrambled Circuits." I can't draw humans very well, so everyone is a robot, tentacle creature, or some sort of hybrid robot/tentacle monstrosity. The stories range from attempts at comedy to depressing as can be and awkwardly mundane.

This project has two purposes for me. [01] Get over my paranoia and stop letting my lack of SUPER LEET drawing skills prevent me from making comics, which is what I fucking want to do, and allow me to slowly learn how to tell stories in this medium I adore. And hopefully I will one day be able to illustrate the more artistically challenging things I write.[02] Tell these stories that I feel are important. Of course I don't know if I would feel my stories are important if I didn't admire James Kolchaka, Harvey Pekar, Carol Tyler, and others like that.

I want to release the first collection by the end of the year and I want the final product to be as many pages as I can fit into a saddle stitched periodical and priced as low as I can. I'll most likely go through Ka-Blam/Indy Planet because I order comics from them a bit and the quality is fantastic. It looks like it will be 4 dollars for 50-52 black and whites pages. Though that might end up being 5 dollars, which would mean that every copy that sold I would get just enough in profit to print up another copy for free that I could then give away to promote it, but I don't know if people would be willing to pay 5 bucks. I have no delusions about making any amount of money, and I won't mind sinking a bit to print off copies to send to people/give out.

It's quite the learning process, and the few finished works I've scanned and uploaded are far from the quality I want in the end product, but everyone starts somewhere.

What I WAS planning on doing until I won the IRISH NATIONAL LOTTERY and emailed claimfidiciarymarkclassan@gmail.com to claim my prize (please, you should all email claimfidiciarymarkclassan@gmail.com to claim your prize as well), I was working with my cousin/best friend on a newspaper comic strip about two smokers, a clown, a demon, and a friend of mine from college, which we will hopefully submit to some of the finer web publications out there. Eventually, if we get picked up, we'd like to work daily, or at least week-daily. I'm also putting together a three-man standup comedy/filmed sketch show together, which will hopefully start touring the Midwest by the end of March. And lastly, I'm working on building up a good set of interviews with some key cutting-edge figures in comics and comedy to submit to The Rumpus. I'm actually hoping to interview Ellis, among others.

But, as I said, I won the IRISH NATIONAL LOTTERY. So fuck that shit.]]>

Just signed up for this summer's gaming festival. A vain hope of doing something interesting with the Transhuman Space setting by ditching all the dice geekery.
The Nørwegian Style project ...
The Nørwegian Style project collecting small "role playing poems" and minigames seems dead or dying, just as it was approaching the finish line. Haven't given up hope, but can't put it on top of the list yet.

A paper issue of the Imagonem fanzine might be too much to hope for, but having one ready by May would be awesome. Currently, it's a heap of layout sketches and mad suggestions and pictures of penises scrawled in crayons by a bunch of drunken game designers. Maybe if I put a pretty cover on it...

There's a canvas stashed somewhere with a lot of broad strokes on it. I was planning to play with oils again. Will probably stay that way for a while.

My minigame, "Mundus" has been playtested several times. Results are exciting, to me at least. The engine works; now I just have to make a bunch of skins to dress it in. Then more playtest.

Lærelyst ("Lust for learning"? Sounds... wrong in translation. Educational RPG scenarios for schools.) has yet another final deadline approaching. This time it is final. Looks like I'm making it to payday.]]>

i am working on the long awaited (by none) final issue of my zine, getting everything prepped so that on march first i can just start cranking out final pages. writing, rambling, six pages of comics. i dont like drawing my own short stories because i am not as good of an artist as i need to be, but fuck it. ive done it before, ill do it again. four pages of it is my take on the "comics as pop single" but since i love powerviolence, and the best PV songs are about 45 seconds long, i am writing it as a chopped up (almost post-FC, dare i say it) piece of weirdness. listen to a HATRED SURGE song, and you will see where i am going with this.

also got back my interview with david lapham, that he turned from a maybe one page affair into a four-five page radness session. to whet your appetites, it includes the sentence "i commuted two hours coming and two hours going each day so i could work in the offices and learn from...the old marvel vets they had, even Bob Layton, before i knew he was a dick".]]>

Well today actually is "clean my damn room day" so... But once that's out of the way:

I'm thisclose to nailing down a stage managing gig for some friends in North Hollywood. I'm really, really nervous that I'll have written this and then something will happen and it won't work out. The last year, solid, has been a series of getting so close to bring productive that I can taste it only to have it be taken away. Well, it's not for pay and about the only thing I've been able to do in 12 months has been donate my time and effort to other people's ideas. So that's in favor of the project. Anyway, I should know by the beginning of the week.

This is as good a space as any to declare to myself that the two short stories that have been taking up space in my head and not letting me sleep at night will be written by the end of May. One is the noir(+/-dick) story and the other is shifting language, possibly written in the second person.

Another project that just started getting out of the "if only I could..." stage will be to take myself on a photo tour of the LA area with my Water is Life subject. The project is totally self indulgent since it's a pantomime of what I could do if I had a real DV recorder and software and know-how to use it all. I just have a sad little Canon snap photo thing, but that's not reason not to do the project.

I have a movie kicking around in my head. I don't know how to write a screenplay, let alone make a movie. It would be better off a novel but it's not coming to me as a novel. Damn annoying that. It's the only thing that's come to me so far for trying to tackle the shifts in identity and duty. Anyway there are other movie-ish ideas but I won't waste your time with shit that isn't going anywhere right now. Suffice to say I'll keep an eye out for outlets to learn to write for film and/or get people together on this.

Also going to keep writing outlines, sketches, pen portraits, whatever for a thing that should be a comic but suffers from my lack of skills and personally knowing anyone willing to draw a comic for free (for now). I'd love to have the major characters sketched and the (first) major story arc completed by end May.

Personal projects going to be: figure out how to stay on top of the news without it taking over my days and nights. Also need to resume being diurnal and get into shape. Its horrifying how fast I get out of breath these days. And find a way to make money, for fuck's sake.]]>

I've just signed a contract for another movie. I'm the screenwriter and a producer on it and it will go before the cameras later this year. I'm aiming to apply all of my pulp writing and design sense to the production of this one so we create a cool look for no money - a live action comic book.

There's a webcomic in my future. Writing it now, though hosing off the crap is probably a more apt description of my process. Trying to make it like your novella format, Warren. 48 page equivalent in terms of webpages/layers.

And I'm writing a newsletter to be tied into my blog. It will go into more detail about the movie, the business and so forth. It will come out once a month with all sorts of rantings and ravings stuffed inside.]]>

SmartAction is getting to have some pretty good demos, and we have a fair number of potential licensees in negotiations right now for various types of scripts and apps. It's not the sexiest thing in the world to me, but it'll pay the bills once it's up and running.

Once the sites are up, maybe they'll let me flip some switches and let people talk to the full engine as "upgrade testing" or something instead of the scripted lobotomized version we're pushing right now. That would be pretty cool.

Witch Doctor, my horror/medical drama comic with artist Lukas Ketner. A disgraced physician-turned-mystic and his quest to find a vaccine — for the apocalypse.

By April we hope to have New Strains done. Three eight-page stories with different tones, focused on different parts of the Witch Doctor universe. A road-map to a new comic series contained in the space of a normal floppy. (Failing that, by April we hope to have a publisher. That process may very well interfere with getting all three stories out on time, because when editors ask to see things, we drop what we're doing to accommodate them.)

For those unfamiliar with the project, here's the latest two pieces of concept art we've released.

Lukas and I are also getting contracts this week for a absolutely fascinating historical project. Crossing my fingers!]]>

I'm being hired full-time at the school where I work, and that's requiring me to learn some new skills. Particularly, I need to learn the AVID video/film editing system (at least, better than I do ...
Other goals that I have for myself:

Finish the rough draft of my Ghost in the Shell inspired screenplay (currently at 90 pages) World Moves On. Like all my projects, I started with a very straightforward plan for what it was supposed to be, and it has increasingly grown beyond my original concept and bloomed into weirder territory.

Write an experimental one-act play for a theatre group in Chico that has called for submissions (my girlfriend's aunt clued me in). I'm writing it in iambic pentameter because I want to give that a shot. I've got about a page and a half now, and I'm aiming between ten and fifteen for the final piece (which will almost assuredly mean I'll be somewhere around twenty pages by the time I'm done).

Finish my current video/film compositor demo reel project, a movie trailer for a fake blockbuster called "Wizard People." The goal is to showcase a series of compositing and motion graphics based special effects (magical beams, particle effects, day for night, etc) in the service of a totally inane story. The trailer, as scripted, included the standard cliches of "This summer..." and "In a world...." All the footage has been shot, now I just need to work on the compositing.

Learn Apple Color, a software based digital grading and color correction system for video. I've done some of this kind of work in Adobe After Effects (I've actually got an IMDB credit for it) but Color is built from the ground up for this purpose. I'm going to start, at the suggestion of a friend who works as an instructor in the software, by coloring poorly corrected/uncorrected movie trailers from Apple.com/trailers. I've just started and so far so good; I pulled probably about 20 trailers off of the site to use to learn the software. I plan on posting the results at my youtube address.

EDIT just moments after posting: I almost forgot, a coworker and I are going to start work on a weird film project sort of inspired by Tetsuo: The Iron Man and Brazil in our downtime. We're going to shoot it in standard definition, then use a series of video filters in several programs to reduce the image to a series of colored lines against black, then scale it up with another series of visual filters, increasing line density. This will simplify the shooting and editing process and allow us a great deal of latitude to create imaginative visual effects with no budget, and work within the context of the story's dystopian setting.]]>

I've just launched a new podcast. I'm trying to do something I haven't seen done before - comedy that follows the listener into the real world. The format is a series of unofficial tours of Dublin museums and galleries - all complete lies -, presented by a pompous fictive art expert whose one part Melvin Bragg, one part Edgar Oliver.

Currently having trouble meeting the bills, so I have set up a shop on Spreadshirt, the idea being that it may bring in some extra much needed income, and would be a good way to get some of my art out there being seen. Just funny, quirky, and geeky stuff really. So far only two designs are solely mine, but I made a couple more shirts to fill it out using designs that they have on file.

Anyway, part of what I'll be doing over next few months is create some more original designs for it. The shop can be found on www.mojodesigns.spreadshirt.com

Also, still carrying on work on getting Zombie Death Squad released. We're now much closer to it, so hopefully by the end of Spring it will be out, and you'll all be buying it. Over Spring then I will also be creating stuff for the marketing campaign and getting that started in earnest.

I'm also looking for artists for some of my own personal comics projects, there are about three I'm looking to do, with as many artists would be good. So I'm writing scripts and hoping to hear back from artists soon, though always good to hear from more. You can mail me on mojojoseph@hotmail.co.uk about it if you want.

I think that's about it. So looking at it, I have something of a busy Spring really.]]>

2. A gallery submission for oztaku (oztaku.com) which was/is a manga art community, but it's kind of spreading to "People of all walks that are interested in Manga and Anime". I'm don't do manga style but will be submitting a peice ink wash, charcoal and pastel.

3. I think, given time around uni, weddings, and art-with-a-deadline, I'll be getting started on a series of realted peices that are buzzing round in my head.]]>

Also, I've been thinking about recording some more music, except that what I really want to do is an entire "album" of Will Smith movie theme songs that Will Smith didn't get around to recording... You know: He did songs for Wild Wild West and both MIB movies, but I thought that I would create a Will Smith rap track for EVERY movie that he's been in, like Six Degrees of Separation and The Pursuit of Happyness. I'll be going by the name "Fake Will Smith", and will rap the tracks in my best Smith impersonation, and then put them on my Myspace Music page for all to enjoy.]]>

I'm hitting the gym as often as I can learning how to break people, which is all kinds of fun. I'm hoping to be ready to step into the ring before this time next year, but it probably won't happen. Not enough hours in the day.

Also, I'd kind of like to get a stand-up act together and hit a few open mic nights. It's always been my dream to call a room full of people a gaggle of weeping cunt sores and have them love me for it.]]>

Work: Learning to grow Talin gene deficient Natural Killer Cells in vitro (in a plastic dish) by harvesting them from Mouse Embroid Bodies grown from Embryonic Stem Cells. Also generating DNA constructs with the Talin gene or various custom mutant Talin genes using Molecular cloning. Also harvesting spleens from mice... which is mostly just unpleasant.

Other work: finishing some graphic design projects for a Biotech company I used to work for.

Hobby: My webcomic site turns a year old in April and I will be starting the Fourth chapter of the main storyline comic which I am pretty excited about. Also figure I will try my hand at a more seriously produced comic about a process server in the world of comics. I'm worried that my art skills, while much improved, are not up to snuff.]]>

My band just got our CD back from being Mastered, so we're putting together the artwork and creating a press pack for that now. I'm also throwing together a DIY CDR package to hand out while I'm traveling before we get the final pressing back. I'll post something here, when it's time.

We're writing new songs for upcoming shows.

I'm writing new songs for an upcoming EP, even though I don't know a damn thing other than drums and synth noise.

I'm buying furniture and decorating in preparation for taking more portraits. Had I just gone Danish Modern, I would've been done weeks ago, but no... I had to decide on Louis XVI on a budget.

My parlor (when you have two living rooms, you have to call one a parlor) is full of lights and backdrops for taking some group shots later this week.

There's also this box of photos waiting to be turned into a book.

Murky Depths (watch out for the small advert in SFX - Heroes For Sale in Inverness have just started stocking it) - is generating some buz about Richard Calder's adaptation of his critically acclaimed first novel (that was some 20 years ago) Dead Girls into a graphic novel. Leonardo M Giron's beautiful manga-influence art and creative input has generated a partnership that will make Issue #9 of Murky Depths (that's the issue the first episode will appear in) very collectable. And Issue #9 also features a brand new short story from Juliet Mckenna. But you'll have to wait until August!

"It is our goal to bring together the fibers that create the independent comic industry in order to weave the tapestry for a community that is dedicated to the fans and patrons of our growing industry. For too long we've grabbed at loose ends and whored ourselves to the machines that at times reward mediocrity and nurture the regurgatated ideas that form the classics of our industry. It is our goal at the Comic Collective to raise the standard as well as give once ignored or unheard voices a forum in which to showcase their arts in all forms. We hope to bring awareness to publishers, patrons, and old fans alike in our own personal journeys towards the creation of the tales that live in our minds. We seek to not just push the envelope, but draw out a new line.

Welcome to our sandbox."

I'm also trying to grow into the shoes of being the Executive Editor of Chief Mac Media and wondering when a paying Editorial gig comes in. Cause, I need to pay rent next month. And I don't have time to do anything else. Maybe finding a sugar daddy would be a good thing to slip into this plan.

Just to be a monkey wrench, a simple story I was writing turned into this hundred + page Godzilla beast that I am now in the process of converting to a comic script. It's a beautiful angelic, gothy, cyberpunk, industrial, seedy, sex driven drug induced coma that lived in my brain until a game of In Nomine kicked it out. Now, finding the artist to work with me in making it real.]]>

The main project, and one I find it hard to find any enthusiasm for (but plenty of fear) is finding a new job. I'll be unemployed in May if I don't. So I'm looking at the small number of jobs I think ...
The other project is re-educating myself. Thanks to some good fortune I have in-depth tutorial videos for Dreamweaver, InDesign, Quark, Photoshop and Illustrator. I don't have the programs (except for Photoshop), and won't have any proper experience with them, but I'll know how to use them. Right now I'm desperate for something to add to my CV, which is threadbare, even though "I know how to use Quark" is a bit of a fiddle as it should read, "I've never used Quark but I could wing it if you give me the chance." Of course, these videos are epic in length, and I'm not finding the time to watch them. I've got time for this post, though.

I've also got to figure out how to deal with a recent medical diagnosis. The psoriasis I thought was only afflicting my scalp is actually far worse, and is the cause of my aches and pains. Psoriatic arthritis. Lovely. Of course it's only manageable, not curable, but I think I can handle that. The worst thing is stress makes it flare up. As you can imagine, joblessness is not helping my state of mind.

The project I want to spend the most time on is a YA novel I've had in my head in planning format for a couple of months now. My wife is in publishing and after she told me about the gaps in the YA market I figured I should try to fill them. I've come up with something I really like, and think I can turn it into something entertaining, but finding the time to do it (and the chance to quell the constant discordant alarm bells ringing through my head) is the problem. Every time I sit down to a computer I have to look for jobs, and doing anything else seems like a waste of time (except this navel-gazing, which is essential brain-maintenance).

But I have to do it. It's about time I became a writer instead of thinking I'd do it in the future. Reading everyone's posts in this thread are inspiration enough to know it's not a mountain to be climbed, but a road to travel along, and for that I thank you all. Mr. Ellis' advice to start small is helping too. Writing something light and fun should be the best tonic.

ETA: I must also watch the second half of John Woo's amazing Red Cliff. If anything will cheer me up, that will be it. I also need to unlock Master Exploder by Tenacious D on Rock Band 2. I appreciate this is a trivial thing, but it's the reason I bought the game so damn it, I'm gonna play that fucking song!]]>

Finding gainful employment Seconded. My current job finishes in a couple of months and I'll be desperately needing work when I get back to Melbourne.

Working on some illustrations with/for my friend. One for an orangutan related St Pat's day thing, the rest are for flipcharts about various illnesses, featuring lots of sick kids, pooping and vomiting. We have been having far too much fun drawing these and I'll post them somewhere when they're done (if I'm allowed).

Lots of small personal projects I don't have time for and keep forgetting about. One other project for a friend that I also don't have time for and feel really about neglecting. Wait, I'm not really working on those, so they don't really count. I intend to though!]]>

Clockwork's Corner, and will be posting content regularly (every other day or so) starting in early April. Right now I'm writing a bunch of posts and setting them to go live on different days.

Some content will be completely random but I'm gonna have a bunch of regularly occurring features that I hope will encourage people to return. For instance, on Mondays I want to have something called Memory Lane Mondays where I share some memory from my childhood and encourage others to post their own. I'd also like to review products occasionally and post good shopping deals when I see them.

I'm not a designer or anything so for now I just picked a theme that's usable and halfway pretty. I know if I start messing with all that CSS stuff I'll get bogged down and never post new content.

I will be sending updates through Twitter, so if you're curious to see how the site turns out you can start following me on there (@tcatsninfan) and wait for the launch in about a month.]]>

Its a story about a gang of young inter-galactic refugees who survive a crash-landing in Rendlesham forest at the height of the Cold War. They get picked up by the US Air Force in Europe, and incarcerated by the UK Ministry of Defence at a secret army base on Rathlin Island. It's a kind of Sci-Fi prison escape story.

It's an unusual webcomic because it uses photography and pre-rendered 3d models for backgrounds, with digitally hand-drawn characters.

This is an ongoing, continuing project, and its also a way to improve my drawing skills, which, after several years of making 3d art as a freelancer, had been put on deep freeze.

the first one, the 300 page fantasy thing is all written (and waiting for rewrites and a larger scanner so I can draw it on A3 paper).

Second one still sitting as a raw plot. I need to find lots of useful reference images if I want to move on.

Third one, second volume of my webcomic, is currently being written by me. I'm at about 40 pages of the actual script (usually doing 5-6 panels per page) and the rest is loosely plotted. Hoping to be done at the end of April and I'll be drawing it as the first of these three.]]>

previous post about things I intend to do, I have...

a) Acquired several Adobe programs, including Dreamweaver and Flash. Attempts to educate myself in the usage of these things is going slowly, but it's going.

b) Done no writing, but have come up with a couple of new ideas, refined some old ones, and found a new use for an idea stuck within an unfinished novel from years ago.

c) Applied for very few jobs, but sent my CV off to magazine publishers in the hope they will take a chance on someone with no published writing to his name. This happens, right? (Please don't respond to this question, Whitechapelers. I know the answer but am running out of ideas.)

d) Unlocked Master Exploder on Rock Band 2, and it is awesome. I have also completed almost all of Rock Band on Hard (guitar). I am proud of this pointless accomplishment.

Progress Report:

Read more good work

Um, I watched DVDs and BREAKING BAD. Does that count?

Hope that the one short play I let out into the wild wins a staged reading....

Well, today was sitting in on my first auditions for my work EVAH, and since my director (Yes! I have one!) had to deal with an illness, I sat with the actors as they read, and took notes. Casting is prejudice (but used on the whole for good); headshots are so cruel (and pretty). But there's a long way to go...

As for the health and de-cluttering tasks: Ongoing.

Complete the one story I'm working on now for class, whether it stays a poem or turns into a short story, novel or play (comic book would be keen...)

This is where I need HELP. Another story is being published online, and the publisher's thinking of turning it into a graphic novel. I've read up about comic book contracts online, but I'm only seeing the most general of advice. Does anyone have any good links about contracts, especially for creator-owned work? If I'm not going to get massively paid, then I'd like to keep the rights, especially for non-comic books.]]>

Progress Report:

3/4 contracts filled for Ravenous Romance. Since my next deadline isn't til September, I've now begun absolutely wallowing in the big important project I've been waiting on doing for a year and some change. By wallowing, I mean writing. A lot of it. And it actually feels good again, so, that's nice.]]>

One which is still unnamed is a children’s book with a slightly return to oz darkness to it, I have started working it out with a good friend of mine who has been itching for me to write it ever since I told her the general idea, seeing as she was so exited and was coming up with some good ideas it only seems fair to bring her onboard make it a co-written project.

Lastly a project called Reaper Heights, I posted some stuff awhile ago about it but since then the artist has vanished and I was left spinning in a world of uncertainty about the whole thing, this time I am taking a more professional approach, just need to work through my crushing self doubt.]]>

The website will be launched soon, then we'll be putting together the submission packets for a few publishers.

1. Illustrating a short story written by a friend involving Alistair Crowley in drag. This is for publishing. - Turned into a freaking novel so we started on a different story, but the person who took over running the collection and publishing side from me turned out to be the worst person to do it and we're no longer submitting.

2. A gallery submission for oztaku - Gallery display got canceled

3. I think, given time around uni, weddings, and art-with-a-deadline, I'll be getting started on a series of related peices that are buzzing round in my head. - Bwahahahahaaaa FAIL. I've moved three times since I wrote this original post...

So what's actually happening at the moment:

Researching, writing, and gathering the things and people required to get a piece of comic work and a magazine off the ground. This may yet be made of FAIL being that I still, two months later have not been able to get my co-conspirator to actually read his fucking mail. That said I'm still working on it even if he's being a dick.

Ditched the accounting degree and start a fine arts degree next month. Much happier, and finally enthused about something I'm doing with my life. Working on bringing my "skills' back to an appropriate level and cursing that life drawing classes are so bloody expensive on a weekly basis when you only work part time. So projects = folio of life drawings, sketches and still life works in various mediums. I'm thoroughly enjoying this.

Planning for the Burning Man Australia Seed has begun amongst myself and the other person I have confirmed I'll be dragging up north with me. This will be an ongoing one for at least the next 6 months, then off to Europe for a few weeks and back in time to do final prep.

My final project is convincing my boss that allowing me to do my cert 4 in business administration is not a waste of time and money because this would put me in a great position to get a job I actually want to go to in 12 months time.]]>

exciting!

Also yesterday I finally put pen to paper on a novel that's been fermenting in my skull for what must be nearly a year. As soon as my zillion assignments, uni theatre production and wisdom tooth surgery are out of the way I'm going to make a wordcount schedule for that. It's been a while since I've started something large, let alone finished it, so that is. A thing.]]>

I checked my first post on this thread:
Finishing my flash animation, completing the second draft of my story "Ares", updating my blog regularly, not going mad.
Animation is predicted ...

Animation is predicted to be three minutes long. "Ares", 25000 words at least.

Ha. Hahaha. "25000 words". HahahahahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

At least the flash animation was finished and published and my website has been updated regularly throughout the year, not to mention the other website I write for, WHORE ISLAND. "Ares" went through the complications of going from a short story, to a story, to a novel that requires quite a lot of research, to losing everything when the file was corrupted, to starting over again and swearing a lot. I know exactly how to continue it and I think the research paid off and the science bits are believable, but I have been sidetracked by a graphic novel script (which I finally decided to abandon until "Ares" is finished) and a children's play (I think I'm finally getting around to saying I'm writing a children's play without suffering seizures), and that one I must finish within this month, so writing of "Ares" will resume next month. If I dedicate myself to it and forget to have a life (and, occasionally, eating) I might finish the partially revised second draft before the year ends.]]>

the first is a split cassette on AghartA tapes out of Lithuania. i have one side and a (i think Norwegian) project called bruzgynai has the other.

the second is a cd on my own Quiet World label of a meditative drone piece i created combining my own music with a set of field recordings made in the mountains around Tucson by a friend named Banks Bailey. an earlier collaboration we made can be dl'ed here and the album of his unadulterated field recordings that i released on QW last year will be available for free dl from the site later in the month.]]>

the website is finally overhauled and the issue galleries updated.

So I celebrated my first free day of actual productivity by completing a 96-page screenplay and drawing half a page of "Li'l Sammy Swift".]]>

Thank you. I usually prefer visual gags for Pitch Black, which is why I'm not very satisfied with this three-part series (of which you read the second part, the third still unpublished), but I'm posting it for the sake of variety.]]>
